Washington (CNN)Congressional Republican leaders rejected a resolution that asserted that Joe Biden is president-elect, the latest effort by the Hill GOP to refuse to accept the election results even though it's been clear for weeks that President Donald Trump lost.
The rejection came Tuesday in a private meeting after House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer offered a motion to affirm that it is preparing for the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Rules Committee Chairman Roy Blunt of Missouri voted with House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy in blocking the motion, effectively preventing the inaugural committee from publicly accepting that the upcoming inauguration will be for Biden. Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, the ranking Democrat on the Rules Committee, voted with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Hoyer voting in favor.
"The extent to which Republicans are refusing to accept the outcome of the election and recognize Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as our next President and Vice President is astounding," Hoyer said in a statement. "Their continued deference to President Trump's post-election temper tantrums threatens our democracy and undermines faith in our system of elections ... Republicans are refusing even to allow (Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies) to say that President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris will be inaugurated on January 20, even when there is no serious dispute over that fact."

“The media is always telling us that Trump’s tone is bad. What is this?”
The fact that President Trump has declined to concede shows that he is deliberately ignoring the fact that the A.P. other media have declared Joe Biden “President-Elect” as prescribed in the Constitution, is undermining “democracy”. It is probably also racist, well, just because.

Actually, i wish they put it to a vote. Find who the traitors are.
“ven though it’s been clear for weeks that President Donald Trump lost.”
They do have massive powers of denial, don’t they?
I’ll bet that made Chrissie Wallace tinkle in his pants.
CNN ?
Woo! Hoo!
That was an END RUN that failed....
Interception....
Running 99 yards for another touchdown!!!!
Where’s our barf alert?
I keep seeing articles posted from CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS and no barf alert...must you people throw things like this at us with little or no warning?
damn kids these days...
Lots of propaganda news being posted all over FR these days....over and over again.
I noticed that. I seem to see more than ever from ABCNBCBSCNNPBSMSNBC, think I saw one from Hufpost not long ago, plenty from NYT and wash post...
just thought it was time to comment about it. I’m pretty sure the original poster here is not a new face, many of those posting MSM articles are. And I’m sure he has a sense of humor too so what the hey, poke a litte fun about it too.
Before 2016 I never had difficulty finding photos.....since then it’s grown increasingly difficult if they support this President or go counter to the lefts agenda.
